Elie Wiesel writes, "Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God himself." What does this reveal about his purpose for writing Night?

In this passage Elie portrays his utter desolation and loss of hope. In a flash, we see his loss of faith in God, quickly followed by the line in which he confirms his belief that there is a God. This quote illustrates Elie's inner struggle with his own faith and beliefs.
